5 Ways to Trust Yourself - When I Grow Up

5 Ways to Trust Yourself - When I Grow Up This is the very last post on The Declaration of Yous Blog Lovin Tour   canyastandit?! Because this weeks topic is Trust, I want to rerun a post that I wrote 4(!) years ago, but is still entirely relevant today. In fact, a bunch of it made it into the Trust chapter of the book. I really hope it helps you in the here now. I don’t trust myself. OK, that’s not entirely true. I trust that I’m driven. I trust that I’m smart. I trust that I’m personable. I trust that I’m loved. I trust that I’m liked. But there are things that I don’t trust. I’ve conditioned myself to not trust them. Don’t trust that great audition! You probably won’t get a callback. Don’t trust the kick-ass callback! You probably won’t get the part. Don’t trust! It’s too scary. Trust disappointment, instead. I don’t trust that “it” will happen because I will it to. I don’t trust The Secret. I don’t trust that everything will work out. I don’t trust that I know the things I should (I hate that word!) know. I don’t trust anything beyond my control. And therefore….I don’t trust myself. But what I realized, sitting figuratively starting fires with Danielle LaPorte   20 other kick-ass women last month, is that I know everything I need to in order to continue on my journey. No, I don’t have a crystal ball, but at 31 years 10 months old (exactly, as I write this), I’ve succeeded, I’ve failed, I’ve loved, I’ve hurt, I’ve lost I’ve gained. I could go into details but really…that’s the gist. What I see now in my crystal ball (maybe I do have one!) is this community I’ve built. MichelleLand consists of not only the people I know love, but people I trust, some whom I see daily some whom I’ve never met. I realize I know everything I need to know, and if I don’t know it, I know someone who does, or someone who can find me someone who does. So y’know what I did when I left that Fire Starter session? I taped this vlog, then I went home unsubscribed from every newsletter by any person that didn’t live in MichelleLand. I signed up for a trillion of them when I launched When I Grow Up, coming to the conclusion that These People (y’know, the ones who Know Things) will tell me everything I should know. And it made me cluttered slightly crazy. It sucked my time my brain my energy. I was done listening to what I should know. I vowed to move forward trusting what I do know, asking for help with what I didn’t. And that’s made me see that everything that unfolds from this point on comes from trusting in MichelleLand. I can believe in the people that make up MichelleLand, and that makes me believe that I’m worthy of this trust, too. Here are some ways to start trusting yourself: Think of who lives in YourNameHereLand. Danielle calls it members of your tribe â€" people that see the world the same as you do, even though they probably have different personality traits or different skills sets. Who do you want in Your Tribe? Make a list of the 50 people that get a seat on the bus going to YourNameHereLand, why. You’ll soon see who’s part of your community, the traits that new people need to get a seat on the next ride. Make a list of all the things you’re telling yourself you should know about Your Project or Your Goal. If you can’t replace the word “should” with “want” or “need”, cross it off the list. That’s coming from an outsider they’re not the boss of you. Then, next to each item that remains, write the reason behind why you think you “should” or “want” or “need to” know that. If it’s anything close to, “Because I need to or else I’ll fail!”, cross it off the list. That’s just you thinking you need to know something, it’s baloney.   If the reason is something else (ie “I want to know how to knit because I’d love to make something homemade special for my baby niece”), then write down all the people who can help you learn. Then, ask for help. If that’s scary, offer to barter: a knitting lesson from your colleague in exchange for a make-up lesson from you. How is that not a win-win? Make it fun, so it’s fail-proof. I’m working on a super top secret project that stemmed from the need, the want, the desire to collaborate with 3 other women who I admire to death (note from present Michelle: it was Spring!). We formed an idea that has the potential to take the interwebs by storm. But if it doesn’t? If my Mom’s the only one that jumps on our bus? OK, I won’t lie say we won’t be disappointed, but I know it’s going to be a huge learning experience, a huge amount of fun, no matter the outcome. It’s been fun fleshing this out. It’s been fun putting it together. It’s been fun getting to know an incredible group of smart, ambitious, creative, funny women. There is no “failing” with this project. It’s just not possible. It’s too much fun. Envision yourself living the dream. I know it’s hippy-dippy of me, but I don’t care. I allow myself to see myself in Complete Success Land. I know what I eat, and how I feel, and how I look, where I go, who I see. Do that for yourself. Often. If that doesn’t cut it, make a vision board of it put it someplace you see at least twice a day. Let yourself look at it. Daydream. Decide you don’t believe in jinxes or bad luck. There’s no such thing. It was never invented. Me? I’m a waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop girl. Something good just happened? Dont’ trust it! Something bad is right around the corner. And y’know what? I look for the Bad Thing, I always find it. Always. What happens when you stop looking? I know it’s tough. I know it’s scary. I know it’s weird, even. But I do know that, as artists who feel that Disappointment Vampire looming, learning to trust yourself is a key to your success. A key to your happiness. Don’t you want to give yourself that key?

Senate to Vote on Equal-Pay Measure for Women

Senate to Vote on Equal-Pay Measure for Women It has been nearly half a century since Congress passed the Equal Pay Act of 1963. But that pesky pay gap between men and women persists â€" and now there’s actually something you can do about it. This Wednesday, the Senate is scheduled to hold a preliminary vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act, a bill that could put some teeth into the old Equal Pay Act by strengthening and updating many of its provisions. “Many people think that equal pay for equal work was something that was solved back in the ’60s,” says Deborah Vagins, legislative counsel for the ACLU’s legislative office. “But what we’ve seen is that because of loopholes and weak remedies, it’s been less effective in combating wage discrimination than everyone had hoped.” This isn’t some shaggy old feminist cause rearing its head. This is a live issue for American families, given that in nearly a third of households today, women are the primary breadwinners. And according to a nationwide survey of registered voters, more than 75% of Republicans, Democrats, men and women all said they supported the measure. The new bill has already passed the House, and if it gets the 60 votes necessary to avoid a filibuster this week, it could, possibly, pass the Senate and become law â€" giving women stronger legal recourse when facing discriminatory pay. Do we really need a new law? Christina Hoff Sommers, a conservative scholar, argued against the bill recently in The New York Times. And a recent analysis of 2008 Census data showed that young, single, childless women were out-earning men by about 8% in most U.S. cities. But â€" let’s face it â€" that’s a pretty small demographic. A September report from the General Accounting Government Accountability Office is more in line with what the average woman experiences: In 2007, female managers earned about 81 cents for every dollar earned by their male colleagues. Mothers earned 79 cents. What’s an under-earning gal to do? Let your Senator know that you won’t stand for this, thank you very much. Your daughters will thank you, too. Follow MONEY on Twitter.

Four Reasons for Leaving Your Job - Your Career Intel

Four Reasons for Leaving Your Job - Your Career Intel Professionals leave jobs for scores of reasons. Whether the notion just crosses your mind or you’re actively pursuing an exit strategy, I’m going to champion your thoughts and reasons for leaving a job. As someone who made the leap, I can tell you that change is scary, exciting and positive. Fear, Comfort and Time â€" Put Them Behind You I made my first job change after 10 years in the workforce. You may recognize some of the reasons it took 10 years. I stayed because I was comfortable, had flexibility, and didn’t know what else I wanted to do. I told myself I didn’t have time to figure it out. I would like to save you some time. Anchoring your thoughts will build confidence. To help you establish that thought process, I’ll focus on common and good reasons for leaving a job. 1. Culture Is your company’s culture a good fit for you? Do you share your employer’s values and operating style? What about a healthy work/life balance â€" does your employer support that need with explicit programs? If you answered no to any of these, let culture be a reason to say farewell. We at Lucas Group believe in this so strongly that a cultural match is a top priority for every professional we vet and place. 2. Boredom My father used to say that only boring people are bored, so don’t be boring. When professional boredom sets in, growth is stifled and people stop caring. Purpose and meaning aren’t just antidotes to boredom. They’re the difference between a job and a rewarding career. You deserve the latter and others need your talents. Go for it. 3. Leadership The most successful and satisfied professionals I know work for companies with strong leadership. Many have entered the ranks of leadership and most are being groomed for it. If your employer does not inspire you to greatness, they are missing out on being a great company. You’ll grow and excel by aligning yourself with a like-minded employer. 4. Wrong Position You can be a great performer but know in your bones it’s not the right role for you. Or you may spend your days struggling to keep pace with your counterparts. What they have is interest and aptitude in something you don’t share. That’s fine. You have exceptional drive and abilities of your own, maybe in a different field or industry. Give yourself permission to choose your intended path. This article started by naming some reasons to leave a job. I’ll close by telling you what it did for me and encourage you to do the same. Moving forward in my career by making a change has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I am challenged, excited, energized by the culture, never bored, motivated by the leadership, and I’m learning new ways to think about old things. I am in a position where I am thriving. I’ll leave you with this: Stop thinking about the reasons you should stay. Come up with a plan, find a great recruiter to help you carry it out, and make a positive change. Something great is out there. You just have to be willing to claim it.

These Work-Life Balance Myths Are Hindering Your Happiness

These Work-Life Balance Myths Are Hindering Your Happiness The stichwort work-life balance has been used for many years to define the holy grail of happiness and fulfillment for those who find themselves juggling a career and other life roles all at once.While there are countless definitions that clarify what is intended by this phrase, if taken at face value, it can lead you on a difficult, if bedrngnis impossible, quest. But leid to worry, there is a clearer, more realistic, and more empowering way to create a life you love.First, lets examine a couple of myths that the phrase implies.Myth 1 You can Balance Work and life, One for One, All the TimeThe word balance is usually defined as equal on all sides or comprising an even distribution. So, with this meaning of the word, you set yourself up for failure when you try to balance work and life. The reality is that sometimes you will need or want to focus on work you need to meet that deadline, you want to nail that presentation with your customer, etc. And other times, you will need or want to focus on life you need to take your child to the doctor, you want to celebrate your parents 50th wedding anniversary. If you try for equal balance at all times, you may fall short.Some have offered harmony as an alternative as in work-life harmony where the two play together to create a melodious life. Certainly, this is a much more achievable goal and one that invokes a sense of peace and unity.Myth 2 Work and Life are Separate EntitiesUsing the term work-life to represent your life roles puts work squarely against everything else, including but not limited to your health and wellness, family, social interactions, and charitable/community work. In doing so, this binary work or life categorization can create a resentment or resistance to work any time you perceive it coming in the way of enjoying any other aspect of your life.The truth is that work and life are not separate. Work is part of life, just as much a part of life as every other aspect. As such, it doesnt have to be put at odds with other things you enjoy. It could be added to the list of everything that makes up your life. For example, you may go to work and spend your lunch hour connecting to your soul through a yoga class. You may have the best conversation of the day as you walk with a friend to get an afternoon cup of coffee. Your co-workers may become your closest friends. You may bring your team together to work at a Food Bank during the holidays. If work contributes to your wellness, friendships, and social contribution, is it really so separate from your life?A Different PerspectiveTo honor all of the hats you wear, when you wear them, and for how long, it may be time for a new phrase and a new approach.Rather than striving for work-life balance, consider one of these alternate phrases (or come up with your own)Living in peace and harmonyCreating a passionate lifePrioritizing one day at a timeAlso, to avoid resenting the time yo u spend working, make sure you are feeding your soul regularlyMake a list of 5-10 things that fill your tank physical, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.Then take a look at your calendar, and schedule these things on a monthly basis.Next, make sure they happenGuard them religiously, and give up the time to something else only if you know you can still make them happen within the month.In addition, look for ways to bring personal goodness to your workMake your breaks and/or lunch hours count, whether through exercise, connecting with friends, or simply quiet time for yourself.If you have to travel, can you add a day or an hour of fun on the front or back end, or even in the middle? Can you take your favorite book for the flight or podcast for the drive?Develop friendships in the office.Consider what you could do to raise the energy there for you and those around you.Stephen Covey wrote about a wonderful practice around creating a life we loveFirst, define your life roles (your big rocks)Then take time at the beginning of every weeknot a lot of time, maybe 15-30 minutes to write down one thing you will do to take care of each of those roles. Schedule those things first and let the rest of the pebbles fit into the empty spaces around the big rocks.In doing so, you will have the satisfaction of devoting time to the things that matter fruchtwein to you. While the intention of work-life balance is pure, actually, in its purest form, it is a tall order and perhaps not even exactly what you want. Words are powerful, so declare clearly what you want your life to be, plan, and then executeand let work not be a barrier, but a facilitator to your best lifeA version of this article was originally published at SharpHeels.Fairygodboss is committed to improving the workplace and lives of women.Join us by reviewing your employer
